An optical unit with shake-correction function is provided. A rotational support structure for supporting a movable body including a camera module around an optical axis is rotatably supported around a first axis and a second axis by a gimbal mechanism. The rotational support structure includes: a first annular groove, provided in the movable body; a plate roller, having a second annular groove facing the first annular groove in a direction of a Z axis; and a plurality of spherical objects, configured to be inserted into the first annular groove and the second annular groove, and roll between the movable body and the plate roller. The gimbal mechanism is configured to rotatably support the plate roller around the first axis.

A holding apparatus includes a holding portion that includes a first member which contacts a portion of an object, a second member which at least a portion thereof is fixed to a base, and a connection member which is configured to connect the first and second members, and a driving unit which drives the holding portion to change at least a posture of the first member, wherein a relative positional relationship between the first member and the second member is changed via the connection member.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus for mounting a pellicle to a photomask, including a cover having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, wherein the second side is configured to face the photomask, and an air pad disposed between the first side and the second side, wherein the air pad comprises a compartment filled with air.

Folded digital camera module comprising an optical path folding element (OPFE) for folding light from a first optical path with a first optical axis to a second optical path with a second optical axis perpendicular to the first optical axis, an image sensor, and a lens module carrying a lens with a symmetry axis parallel to the second optical axis. The camera module is adapted to perform optical image stabilization (OIS) involving at least one tilt motion of the OPFE tilt around an axis such that the OPFE tilt creates an image Roll movement and a shift movement, the OPFE tilt-created image Roll movement compensating for a folded camera module-induced Roll movement and the shift movement cancelable by a movement of the lens module.

What is disclosed is an object holder for securely retaining an object while it is being printed in a direct-to-object print system and a direct-to-object print system configured to use various embodiments of the object holder of the present invention. In one embodiment, the object holder comprises a shuttle mount configured to slideably traverse a support member positioned parallel to a plane formed by at least one printhead configured to eject marking material on to a surface of an object. A memory foam is attached to the shuttle mount. A vacuum pump is used to withdraw a volume of air through a hole in the memory foam such that, a difference in air pressure causes an object to be pressed against the face of the memory foam causing the foam to partially deform to the object's shape.

An image shake correction device comprising a first image shake correction lens and a second image shake correction lens for correcting an image shake of a subject image caused by shaking is provided. The image shake correction device executes correcting the image shake caused by the drive of the first image shake correction lens and the second image shake correction lens after correcting a drive deviation between the first image shake correction lens and the second image shake correction lens.

The present invention provides a lithography apparatus which forms a pattern on a substrate, including a stage configured to hold the substrate, a substrate transport system configured to transfer the substrate to the stage, an obtaining unit configured to obtain information about a holding state of the substrate on the stage, and a processor configured to perform processing of determining a transport position on the stage when the substrate transport system transfers the substrate to the stage, wherein based on information obtained by the obtaining unit when the stage holds the substrate at each of a plurality of positions on the stage, the processor determines the transport position at which the substrate transport system transfers the substrate to the stage.
